Following these safety instructions
will allow the appliance to be used
for many years.
●Remove any burnt rice or remaining grains of rice.
Failure to do so may cause steam to leak
or contents to boil over. This may result in
malfunction or improperly cooked rice.
●Do not cover the rice cooker with a cloth or other
object during cooking.
Doing so may cause the rice cooker or the lid to
become deformed or discolored.
●The holes on the rice cooker are designed to
maintain its functions and performance. In
extremely rare cases, dust or even insects may
enter these holes and cause malfunction. To
prevent this, a commercially available insect
prevention sheet, etc., is recommended. If a
malfunction does occur due to this problem, it will
not be covered by warranty. Contact the place of
purchase.
● Theinnerpot'suorocarbonresincoatingmay
wear and peel with extended use. This material is
harmless to humans and this situation presents no
hindrance to actual cooking or to the rice cooker’s
heat insulating capability. In the case you would
like to purchase a new inner pan, you can do so
by contacting the place of purchase.
●Strictly observe the following instructions
tokeeptheuorocarbonresincoatingfrom
scratching or peeling.
• Do not place the inner pot directly over gas,
electric, or IH stove top. Do not place in the
microwave or oven.
• Use the Keep Warm function for white rice
only. Do not use for mixed or seasoned rice,
etc.
• Do not use vinegar inside the inner pot.
• Use only the supplied spatula or a wooden
spatula.
• Do not use hard utensils such as metal
ladles, spoons, or whisks.
• Do not place a basket inside the inner pot.
• Do not place tableware and other hard
utensils or objects inside the inner pot.
• Do not clean the inner pot with hard materials
such as metal spatulas or nylon scouring
sponges.
• Do not use a dishwasher/dryer to clean the
inner pot.
• Be careful not to scratch the inner pot when
washing rice.
• If the inner pot becomes deformed, contact
the place of purchase.
Do not wash the entire appliance.
Do not pour water into the appliance or
into the base of the appliance; this is to
avoid short circuits and electric shocks.

Note
●Rinse-free rice can be cooked using the “Plain”, “Ultra”, “Eco”, “Quick”, “Synchro-Cooking”,
“Mixed•Sweet”, and “Porridge” menus. You can cook delicious rinse-free rice easily without being
concerned about the water amount or soaking time.
Since the bran has already been removed, rinse-free rice does not require washing. It is also good for
the environment because the water left over after rinsing the rice does not affect the rivers or ocean.
●When using the “Porridge” menu, the porridge can become pasty if kept warm for too long; serve as
soon as possible.

Tips on making delicious rice
Read p.14 to 15 for preparations
before cooking rice, and p.16 to
20 for how to cook rice.
Select high quality rice and store it in a
cool location.
Choose freshly polished, glossy rice with a
uniform grain size. Store in a cool, dark, well-
ventilated place.
Carefully measure the rice with the
supplied measuring cup.
One cup equals about
0.18 L.
Use the supplied measuring
cup for rinse-free rice as well.
Wash the rice quickly.
Stir the rice around with your hand in a generous
amount of water, pour out the water, and repeat
until the water remains clear.
When cooking germinated brown rice,
whole rice or semi-polished rice, select
the “Plain” or “Ultra” menu.
Cooking rinse-free rice
• Add the rinse-free rice and water, and then stir
well from the bottom so that every individual
grain of rice becomes immersed in the water.
(Merely adding water to the rice will prevent
it from soaking in the water and may result in
improperly cooked rice.)
• If the added water turns white, we recommend
you wash the rice thoroughly by replacing the
water once or twice. (The water turning white
is due to the starch in the rice and not its bran;
however, cooking it with the starch left in the
water may result in burned rice, the contents
boiling over, or improperly cooked rice.)
Adding other ingredients to the rice
The total amount of ingredients should be no more
than 70 g per cup of rice. Stir in any seasoning
well and then add the extra ingredients on top of
the rice. If other ingredients are to be added to the
rice, be sure to use no more than the acceptable
maximum amount (refer to the table below).
Type of rice 1.0 L (5.5-cup)
type
1.8 L (10-cup)
type
Brown 3 cups or less 5 cups or less
Mixed 4 cups or less 6 cups or less
Sweet 3 cups or less 5 cups or less
Porridge • Hard 0.5 cup 1.5 cups or less
• Add water prior to adding the ingredients.
Adding water after the ingredients will result in
thecookedricebeingtoorm.
Add water according to the type of rice
and your personal preference.
Amount of water to add
If you choose to use more or less water than the
recommended amount, do not deviate from that
amount by any more than 1/3 of one line.

use the “Plain” or

• Iftheamountofwatertoaddisspeciedon
a package of germinated brown rice or multi-
grain rice, follow those directions and add water
according to your personal preference.
• When cooking paella described in the supplied
“COOKBOOK”, use the “Plain” scale as a
reference.
Cooking brown rice or multi-grain-brown
rice mixed in with white rice
• If the rice to be cooked includes more brown
rice or multi-grain rice than white rice, use the
“Brown” menu.
• If there is an equal amount of white rice and
brown rice or multi-grain rice, or there is more
white rice than brown rice and/or multi-grain
rice, use the “Plain” menu. (The brown rice and/
or multi-grain rice should be soaked separately
for 1 to 2 hours before cooking.)
Cooking sweet rice
When cooking sweet rice, select the “Mixed•Sweet”
menu.
Wash the rice, and then level it out so that all of
the rice is under water.
Cooking grains together with white rice
• Use the “Plain” or “Ultra” menu.
• The amount of multi-grain rice should equal
less than 20% of the volume of the white rice.
The maximum acceptable amount for the
combination of white rice and grains is 5.5 cups
with the 1.0 L type and 10 cups with the 1.8 L
type.
• The grains should be placed on top of the
white rice. Mixing them together may result in
improperly cooked food.
Cooking grains together with brown rice
• Always use the “Brown” menu.
• The maximum acceptable amount for the
combination of brown rice and grains is 3.5
cups with the 1.0 L type and 6 cups with the 1.8
L type.
Cooking long-grain rice
• When cooking long-grain rice, select the “Long-
grain” menu. When cooking seasoned rice with
various ingredients using long-grain rice, select
the “Mixed•Sweet” menu. Selecting any other
menu may result in the contents boiling over.
